According to Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, a fetish is a disease.
However we are not ill so we don't need doctors.

I would rather say that L&C is a minor sexual orientation.
The major orientation is to make babies.

In italian fetishes are called "fantasia erotica".
Just a game but exciting.

The above is an interesting take on the word 'fetish.' Below is the meaning of this word as it is commonly used today.

"By the early 20th century, fetish took on yet another meaning quite distinct from its antecedents: a sexualized desire for an object (such as a shoe) or for a body part that is not directly related to the reproductive act (such as an earlobe)."

A L&C action occurs whenever a person A carries a person B in a way where B does not touch the soil.
By extension there could be more persons in A and in B.

An elephant cannot carry another elephant because it is too heavy.
On the opposite an ant can carry a lot of ants for instance staying on a twig.
However God decided that an human can carry decently another human.

Note that performances of ants, humans and elephants are different because :
> energy increases as a square.
> weight increases like a cube.

Here God makes a joke to us humans because
if a girl 1m60 carries a boy 1m75 she will carry
13,06% more than her weight, not 10,93% since it is a cube.

================================================== =====

Surprisingly the fetish for L&C is not an object, it is a position in the air.
No device like a shoe.
Also no intention to harm, unlike sadism ou masochism.

I think that a guy who wants domination plus riding on the girl has two fetishes, not one.
I can perform L&C without explicit domination.
However if I a am taller than the girl, I will not "regret" that I am a little bit heavy for her.

I think debating the use of the term fetish is unhelpful. Regardless of semantic arguments, it is a fetish in most people's opinion, and that forms part of the problem. It is viewed as strange or unusual by a lot of people, hence why it has to be approached in certain ways rather than just dumped on them.

It's not even a fetish in the strictest definition of the word. It would be only if you would need it in order to have a "relationship" with someone. You couldn't function or perform without it. Of course, it's listed as a fetish ("weird" turn-on) in the common use of the word.
